Introduction to the DS3-10/100 RIOP 1
Introduction to the DS3-10/100 RIOP
The DS3-10/100 Routing Input/Output Processor (RIOP), as part of the VSR multigigabit
switching router, allows you to connect a local Ethernet and remote corporate network. The
DS3 interface has a data capacity of 44.736 Mbps, while the Ethernet interface can operate at
either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps.
This section of the manual contai ns informati on specific to the DS3-10/100 RIOP. It is divided
into the following sections:
Chapter 1: Network Installation
Here you will find step-by-step instructions on how to physically install the DS3-10/100 and
connect it to your network.
Chapter 2: Quickstart Configuration
The Quickstart section provides a basic list of parameters that must be entered into the
DS3-10/100 for proper operation.
Chapter 3: Shipping Defaults
This section of the manual lists factory defaults for each interface.
Chapter 4: LED Patterns
This section of the manual describes the LED indicators for the DS3-10/100.

This section of the manual will help you install the DS3-10/100 RIOP to connect a local
Ethernet and remote corporate network. These connections can be made to other Compatible
Systems routers or routers from other vendors.
In summary, the steps for installation are:
1. After mounting the router or placing on a desktop, make sure it is not connected to
any power source.
2. Connect the router to the Ethernet network.
3. Connect the router to the DS3 transmission equipment.
4. Connect a management console to the router (optional).
5. Plug in the power cable and power up the router.
Ethernet Connection Requirements
The 10/100 Ethernet interface direc tly supp orts 1 00B as eTx or 10B as eT twisted-pair Ether net.
To connect the router’s Ethernet interface to twisted-pair Ethernet cabling, you will need an
unshielded twisted-pair station cable that is connected to a 10BaseT-compatible twisted-pair
hub (for a transmit speed of 10 Mbps) or a 100Mbps Fast Ethernet hub (for a transmi t speed of
100 Mbps).
v
Note: Ethernet cables and cable connectors are not supplied with the DS3-10/100 RIOP
product. Ca tegor y 5 cabling is r e quired for 100 BaseT operation. Please contact your reseller
or your Compatible Systems representative for information on obtaining the correct Ethernet
cabling supplies.
DS3 Line Connection Requirements
The DS3-10/100 RIOP includes an integrated DS3 CSU/DSU. To connect this interface to
your DS3 transmission equipment, you will need two coaxial cables.
These cables require special tools to be built correctly. You can use your approved cable
supplier or you can contact your reseller or your Compatible Systems representative for a list
of cable suppliers. To have a cable built, use the following specifications:
• Cable Type: AT&T type 734A or equivalent
• Connector Type: AMP Incorporated 413589-7 or equivalent (75 Ohm BNC plug)
• Maximum L ength: 900 feet
v
Note: The DS3-10/100 RIOP includes loopback features which can be used to check the
functionality of your DS3 line. Before attempting to route network traffic, use these features to
check the line’s basic integrity.
